The breakfast buffet was very uneven they had made to order omelets that were great with high-end items like spinach and shrimp, but the other hot items were terrible. Plus, you get a 40% discount for paying with points, so the net cost is next to nothing. Prices are $5/$6/$10 if you have the second highest level of card. My other meals I took at the Buffet and T.G.I. Coffee is $2.00 a cup, and you don't get a discount for using your Boyd points there (nor do you at the gift shop). I camped out for about four hours doing some work (and dicking around on the Internet). Wireless internet at Java Vegas (formerly Seattle's Best, now using Starbuck's coffee) is available, although it can be hard to find a table. Saimin might be my new favorite food: noodles, char siu pork, shrimp, fish cake, in a chicken broth. I used my $10 dining credit for a bowl of Saimin noodle soup at the Courtyard Cafe. The bedding package was perhaps the BEST I've experienced in any Vegas hotel. I agree with the Wizard's reviewer that the TV selection was poor, and they did not have a flat screen.

The rooms are fine big, with a couch and table, although very tackily decorated. The hotel is huge, so you could have a long walk to your room. Now that I think about it, the Orleans has always been crowded when I've been there.Ĭheck in was a breeze, and they put me on the third floor near the elevator. There were something like four basketball tournaments going on at once, so there were a lot of players and cheerleaders with funny names emblazoned on their clothes like 'Wolfpack,' 'Vandals,' 'Rainbow Wahine,' etc. I booked it for that night (it was 6 PM), and got on the 108 bus to the westbound Tropicana bus and was there in 20 minutes. I checked my laptop at the airport, and found a two nights free+$10 dining credit offer on my BConnected card.

I stayed here for two nights, after United bumped me from a flight out of LAS (hellish story that I won't bore you with).
